About this campaign
Sweet Storm should be spending her days doing what Siberian Huskies do best — enjoying the Florida sunshine, staying close to her mom, and soaking up every moment with the family she has loved for nearly a decade. Instead, this beautiful 9-year-old girl is facing the fight of her life.
Storm was recently scheduled for what her family thought would be a routine procedure to remove a fatty lipoma from her leg. But during pre-surgical diagnostics, veterinarians discovered something no one was prepared for: multiple concerning masses on her liver. Further imaging confirmed the devastating news — Storm is suffering from a serious hepatic mass that now requires urgent surgical intervention. Without surgery, these masses could continue to grow, rupture, or severely impact her liver function, putting Storm’s life at risk.
Her family was blindsided. Storm’s mom has had her since she was only 8 weeks old — a gift from her husband during one of the loneliest and most difficult transitions of military life, far away from family and everything familiar. Since that day, Storm has been more than just a dog. She has been a constant companion, a comfort during hard seasons, and a best friend through life’s ups and downs.
Now Storm needs her mom the way her mom has always needed her. Specialists estimate Storm’s surgery and continued treatment will cost between $9,479 and $14,017, an overwhelming expense for any family to face without warning.
A small grant has been secured, but there is still a critical funding gap standing between Storm and the surgery that could save her life.
That is why we are asking for your help today.
Every donation made toward Storm’s campaign goes directly toward the advanced veterinary care she urgently needs — diagnostics, surgical removal of the liver mass, hospitalization, pain management, and recovery support. Storm still has so much love left to give. She still has birthdays to celebrate, walks to take, and more years to spend beside the person who has loved her since puppyhood. Please help us give this loyal girl the fighting chance she deserves.
No donation is too small to matter. And if you are unable to donate, sharing Storm’s story could help save her life by reaching someone who can.
Together, we can help Storm get back to the family who cannot imagine life without her.
8/5/26 Update
Storm's surgery was a success, and she is now back home with the family who has loved her since she was an eight-week-old puppy.
Storm underwent a complex liver surgery that included the removal of a liver lobe containing the mass, along with additional mass removal and biopsy testing. She spent several days hospitalized receiving around-the-clock monitoring, pain management, medications, IV fluids, and supportive care before she was finally well enough to go home.
While her road to recovery continues, Storm is already enjoying what she loves most—being surrounded by the people who never stopped fighting for her. After such a frightening diagnosis, having her safely home is the greatest gift her family could have hoped for.
We also want to extend our heartfelt gratitude to everyone who supported Storm's journey. Your generosity helped ease the burden of an overwhelming medical emergency and gave Storm access to the specialized care she desperately needed.
Storm's hospitalization, surgery, diagnostics, medications, and recovery totaled more than $11,800, leaving her family with a remaining balance after payments and assistance. Every donation, share, and message of encouragement helped make this lifesaving treatment possible
.
From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for standing beside Storm and her family during one of the most difficult moments of their lives. Your compassion gave this sweet girl the chance to continue making memories with the people who love her most.
Because of you, Storm has many more walks to enjoy, more birthdays to celebrate, and more years of unconditional love to share. We couldn't be more grateful for the incredible community that helped make her happy ending possible.
